Hey,
I made videos for home this week and I have them ready to
send for everyone so you will get those whenever they come! So about my week:
Sunday: Well Sunday, I went
to church for the last time in the colon ward! They announced that the colon
ward will now be part of another stake which is part of the other mission so we
are going to be moved to another ward this week I think the Iñaquito ward which
is also a pretty cool ward and then after church I went to teach one lesion
with the family of a kid from our ward who is going to leave on his mission,
but his parents aren’t members and we had a great lesion with them. It was the last lesson of the whole mission
for Elder Thomas and then at night we had to go to the presidents house to do
the changes in the whole mission, which was pretty cool and we there where a
lot of cool changes. For example, some new leaders and also a bunch of people
went home then we got home at about 12 AM and went straight to bed!!!!!!
Monday: Well pretty much all
Mondays are the same for me now!!!!! I get to the offices at about 10 in the
morning and I have to go over the numbers of the whole mission and we have to
call the zone leaders one by one and figure out what they did well, what they
did bad in and what they are going to do to be better and I do that until about
6 in the afternoon and then I have to send in all the stuff to the aria and
then after that we had something that only happens every 6 weeks. We always go
to the “going away dinners” of the missionaries who are leaving and it was kind
of cool because Elder Thomas was one of them this time! It was funny because as
an assistant he has gone to like 8 of them and this was finally his actual
going away dinner! It was cool!!! I love hearing the testimonies of those who
are leaving because you can see what kind of missionary they really were just
by hearing their testimonies. It’s pretty funny! There were some that really
aren’t great!!!! But Elder Thomas was a good one and there was one more who was
also especially good to listen to!! And that went until about 11 pm and
then we took them to our house and they left at about 2 in the morning to fly
home!
Tuesday: This was a good day because
this was when all the new missionaries got here!! We went to the president’s house
early and then from there we went to the airport to pick up all the new guys
and it is always cool to see them because they are always sooo pumped about
being here and just ready to work even though they know nothing about being a
missionary! And then we trained them until about 7 at night on just like being
strong and not giving up and like what to do if you think too much of your
house and all that stuff and then we came to the office and got ready for the
next day and then went home at about 10pm.
Wed: well this day we
also just trained allllllllll day! It was a lot fun and then after that we took
them to the president’s house and ate dinner!!! That was pretty much the whole
day! Hahaha I’m not going to lie there is not that much to tell about the trainings
we just talk and talk and talk!!!!! That is pretty much it! But we did get some
good missionaries! There are two that are children of presidents of different
stakes.
Thursday: We had the training
of the new missionaries and their trainers! It was really cool to see them meet
their new companions for first time and they were all pumped and just ready to
go to work!!!! We trained them allllll day until about 7 and then we came to the
offices to get ready for the next day to be able to do the zone conference and
the leadership meeting! That took all night and then we went home and slept
finally!
Friday: Well normally the
craziness of the week would have been over, but this time we had a leader
meeting in the morning at 9 until 1 and then the zone conference from 1 till
8pm! Once again all day training!!! It is a lot of fun but it does wear me out
and I have to talk and talk and talk and I have to always be thinking of
questions to ask the missionaries so they learn better and pretty much the
whole time I am just making it up and they all look at me the whole time and
they expect me to know everything about everything!! I kind of like it but at
the same time I get soooo tired!! But I think I have gotten their love and they
all seem to respect me and like me at least!!! I think some at first didn’t
like that I was from another mission, but I have done a good job of getting the
confidence! And that was my whole day!!!!
Saturday: Well that is
today!!! I woke everyone up at 5:45 and I made them come with me to the park to
play soccer! It was fun we played against the assistants of the other mission!
And we won! I twisted my ankle but it will better by tomorrow! And then after
that we went back to the house and studied and then we went to buy food and
then we went back to the house and did a deep cleaning!!!! You will see in the
video I sent how clean it is!!! And then we ate lunch!! A chicken with rice……. and
yeah now I’m here in the offices! It was a good week!!!
Love
Christan
This is my zone! Except I have never been to a single zone meeting because we are always traveling! haha
These are the guys who work in the offices with me!
